This might be off topic. If god gives us free will, can see the future, and then judges us on a action that we don't actually commit yet... that seems pretty unjust to me.

How is it unjust? That was your future and you were judged on it. You're point of view as a time bound being doesn't alter the facts. Maybe you would cause more suffering than anything previously known and humanity would never recover. What justice would that be on your fellow humans? Where God is just, we have to understand his actions to be just.

Do not blame your ignorance on me, for it is your responsibility to educate yourself in regards to the bible's true heinous nature. Many times claimed never once demonstrated. One credible piece of evidence would make you very famous. Please don't be modest. (Though I might understand you might want to claim your rights to it before making it public knowledge here).

So, let me get this straight. God allowed a woman to conceive a child that god knew since the beginning of time deserved the death penalty for something really bad it was going to do. So he went ahead and let the baby be born just so he could kill it while it was still a baby? That's the most freakingly awesome evilist sick shit ever! Urhm... Why didn't he kill Hitler, or Jeffrey Dahmer, or John Wayne Gacy as babies then?
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

You have to address the principle presented. God being just enacts justice. You didn't say how you rationalise it being evil.  (June 14, 2013 at 5:48 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: How is it unjust?

God knew before I was even born that the mind he gave me would not allow me to believe he exists, knowing ahead of time that I would break his rules, yet he allowed me to be born anyway? He even knows just what it would take to convince me that he exists, yet he fails to provide me with it. And this is what you call a just god? Quote:Where God is just, we have to understand his actions to be just. Are you saying that we just have to take it that God is just, because the God you believe in is just? Seriously? You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

But let me assume that you're talking about a hypothetical. You deny the truth until you can no longer. He continually provides you with evidence to convince you, and at some point you'll realize that together with your full potential. Justice would not equal you rewarded with good for fighting against good would it?

As we deduce that God must be just (by constructing a coherent model) then God can be no other. What isn't just cannot be God. Is this what you meant? |
